Oh, and the decade that the Ramones released End Of The Century, the year that the original Salem's Lot was first shown on TV & the year that Carrie was set in, but the book & film were obviously written & released before that.

And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues.

And we don't know just where our bones will rest.

To dust I guess.

Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below.

The street heats the urgency of sound.

As you can see there's no one around.

Vague memories of the winter of discontent with news items about rubbish piling up.

That poster for the Conservative General Election campaign: "Labour isn't working"

Margaret Thatcher on the steps of 10 Downing Street with her hair style set so hard it looked almost like a crash helmet.

Winter of 79-80 was very cold and snowy
